@Harian_Mossa @Acaffarella7198 Addicted to losing is right. You'd think, and you see on every other team, if you go down 3-4 goals you get physical and maybe start some stuff to rally the team. Slaggert and Donato seem to be about the only ones even attempting to hit anyone. Nobody else really wants to hit.

@Acaffarella7198 This franchise is getting addicted to losing for high picks.
And it's not my words.
Kyle said the objective is to be higher in the league and to see a visible step.
I don't see it.
We are getting worse.
Some of these young guys are starting to bust.

@BenPopeCST I think it was Rick tonight who said the quiet part out loud..."the age of these players are the same as collegiate players". That many kids playing, even if some are good, is like a college team playing in the NHL.
English

The idea of the Blackhawks dressing one of the youngest lineups in modern NHL history is romantic.
The reality of it, at least for now, is less pleasing on the eyes.

@JaredStillTwo @TheIdealExit77 Not sure exactly, but it's quicker and easier than saying "I've expended all of my ammunition". Kind of like a pilot saying he's "Bingo Fuel". Where did that come from...other than it's easier than saying "I only have enough fuel to get home". 😉

@JBob207 @TheIdealExit77 What’s the origin of the phrase “Winchester?”
Nose paint is insane!

@BenPopeCST I thought last night was the worst game I've seen this year. Tonight was pretty close to tie. At least we held them to 39 shots for the first time in 4 games.

@jayzawaski Guess when we trade away Foligno, Murphy, Dach, and Dickinsen...who were the physical part of the Hawks...

@DaleStarkA10 We always had 1150 rds loaded...not sure why because I was APG and not a WPNs guy. I believe there was a major gun inspection for the barrels if you did a full shot.
English

Most people don’t know this but you can empty the gun in a single pass. Maintainers won’t be thrilled because it reduces the life of the barrels, but it’s perfectly fine in combat.
Takes about 17 seconds to shoot the full 1174 rounds.
The GAU-8 fires at 70 rounds a second, with the first second being a bit slower as the gun spins up.
Carry on.

@miles_commodore I was still stationed in SoCal in the USAF. Family called to see if I was okay. "Yeah Mom, I'm like 8 hours south of there..."

@miles_commodore I think it was planned only to take buffets away from us! Pizza Hut and KFC closed their buffets in my town forever.

@MostlyPeaceful I did my A-10 FTD maintenance training at Moody AFB GA, and the range is literally a mile or so on the other side of the flightline. All day I'd hear the Brrrts, and one week they did night Brrrts...lol. Did go out to the range one day to watch...it was awesome.
English

One of my favorite memories from the army was in Korea.
We had a mini shop on one of the ranges by the DMZ. When we were up there doing demo and response, we’d sit out front drinking beers in the evening watching A-10s doing gun runs on the range as the sun set.

If you’ve never seen a A-10 gun run, It’s one of the most fantastically terrifying things you will ever witness.

To be fair, if I needed a woman to protect me I'd pick H. Clinton.
She has the resume for protecting her man.....

One protects you, and the rest are coming after you. Who do you choose?

@runaway_vol The gun will not stop the jet in mid air, nor will the gunsmoke stall the engines...lol. Also, officially, it hasn't used DU since the Gulf War.
English

The A-10 is a museum piece, a giant gun the pilot rides like a horse. The gun itself, the GAU-8 Avenger, has seven barrels of rotating depleted uranium, longer than a VW Beetle and twice as heavy. It fires 3,900 rounds a minute with a sound like God ripping a bedsheet. This monstrosity is propelled by two 3,000-hp megajets and vestigial wings. When it fires long enough, it stops mid-air. It’s that musky, tobacco-farm, high-T energy—enough chest hair to suffocate a lion. An absolute unit. A plane that instills terror in everything stupid enough to be standing in front of it. It’s a ridiculous contraption that America just can’t quit.

Take the worst four lines in the entire NHL and they'd beat the dogshit out of the PWHL all stars 😭

Am i crazy to think they should have like a pwhl vs nhl tournament during the all star break next year?
